This paper describes the characterization of a novel directly modulated multi-section laser with a master-slave configuration. Amplitude and phase noise measurements show relative intensity noise values of around -150 dB/Hz and a 3-dB linewidth of around 3 MHz. The laser's suitability for optical access networks, enabled by the chirp reduction from the external injection locking, is shown by demonstrating unamplified 30 Gbit/s C-band transmission over 25 km and 50 km of single mode fiber using PAM4, as well as 30 Gbit/s PAM4 and PAM8 amplified transmission over 75 km.
